I’m having the opposite problem with Baelish, because I’ve been watching Season 4 of The Wire so I keep thinking that Baelish is not such a bad guy and really wants to do the right thing about all the crime in [del]Baltimore[/del] err, King’s Landing.
Oh, that’s priceless! 
(It’s a totally SFW link, by the way. Which makes it that much funnier.)

I just have to point at this teaser. They’re so devious and evil with this one 
I can’t for the life of me understand what he is saying.
“Come for a last look?”
Eight days left!
I’m posting this here instead of starting a new thread. The titles for all the episodes have come out. Here is the list:
- Two Swords
- The Lion and The Rose
- Breaker of Chains
- Oathkeeper
- First of His Name
- The Laws of Gods and Men
- Mockingbird
- The Mountain and The Viper
- The Watchers on the Wall
- The Children
Wikipedia has a list of writers and directors. George R.R. Martin is writing episode two. Episode nine will be directed by Neil Marshall, who also directed season two’s awesome Blackwater episode. Judging from Blackwater, he’s a very logical choice for episode nine this season.
This season has more momentous events packed into it than any of the other seasons.
Is it too late to discuss the last 3 series? It would be nice to clear up some things lest I spoil my enjoyment of the new series 
The whole thing with Craster.
What happened there was so inevitable, I don’t get it.
Craster lets dozens of armed men, many former criminals, into his home full of food and women, far from civilization. Then sits there and taunts them.
Yeah I know they’ve taken an oath, but bearing in mind the circumstances, and the cutthroat nature of this world and its inhabitants, it’s basically a suicide attempt. The fact that there has to be a penalty for desertion, already implies that the oath does not in itself result in 100% obedience.
He’s a crazy old man who marries all his daughter, lives alone with them out in the wilderness, and has had the same relationship with the Night’s Watch for years and years now. I can easily imagine him getting a little more abusive each time he shelters them until finally the situation has reached the point of no return. The real world is full of people dying because of their own stupidity. He’s just one of many examples of the exact same thing in Westeros.
Are you saying that you wouldn’t trust a bunch of [del]rapists[/del] rapers and murderers in your house!?
I’ll [del]wimp out[/del] be safe with a book spoiler tag even though I don’t think we’re doing that:
In the book, several of them had been planning a mutiny for some time. It was supposed to go off earlier, then Others/White Walkers happened. At Craster’s it was more opportunistic. I don’t know if it was a good explanation, but maybe he just figured nobody’s tried anything before?
TV: I did not like that the guy who started the mutiny was a character (I don’t remember) seeing before. We see Rast being a jerk the whole time, but it’s this other guy (search suggests it in his hoarse voice. A search suggests he is “Karl” and first appeared S3E3, and only again so far in the next episode, but he definitely wasn’t there from the beginning like others.
Also, I understand that they wanted to hide Ramsay, and were giving us as much info as everyone else in Westeros knows (assumed that Theon burned Winterfell), but that whole transition was 
especially since they took awhile to resolve it.
Remind me, please: will this be the season where Joffrey is killed at his own wedding, and Littlefinger and Sansa end up in the Vale?
Yes to the first, and probably to the second - this season should wrap up the third book and possibly start the fourth/fifth books.
Definitely yes to one and who knows with two.
My guess is yes on the second, due to new cast announcements, although that’s a partial guess as I don’t know as much about that plotline. Yes, absolutely yes, on the first one.

Excellent.
I tend to call the first thing there “karmatharsis”, because he has it coming and it feels SO good.
Well, his craziness seems quite specific, as in all other respects he’s a survivor. And he usually doesn’t let his guard down (e.g. when he realizes he’s being followed by jon snow).
And it’s not just Craster, the lord commander walked into that situation blind. I don’t care how many times he’s been to Craster’s before, it seems out of character for him not to appreciate the risks of this many ill-disciplined guys in a confined space with weapons and plenty of incentive around them.
Of course, I’m unlikely to convince someone to be irked by something that they didn’t find irksome when they watched it themselves.
Just wanted to know if there was more specific reasoning for this state of affairs.
IMO, the Wall and the Night’s Watch, while some of the most famous things about GoT, are the bits that make the least sense in the story.
I wonder if we might see in the first episode the capture of members of the Frey family by the brotherhood without banner. Book readers will understand what scene I’m thinking about and more importantly the interesting thing that is disclosded therein.
It seems to me that each previous season began with a kind of introduction sequence. Am I mistaken? Then, could it be the introduction to season 4? I’m not sure when it happens in the books, but IIRC, it was also an introduction chapter.
